> > I do believe the rapture may well be
either April 5/6, or April 12/13, 2011.

I agree with April 5/6, 2011, but why April 12/13?

I think Christ may come as the latter rain on Tuesday, April
5, 2011, Nisan 1, 5771. He could then take us to Heaven in the Rapture
at daybreak Wednesday, April 6, 2011, Nisan 2, 5771, anniversary of the
Crucifixion on April 6, 30 AD. Here is how I figured it.

Lets look at
Hosea 6:1-3. Israel is speaking. Keep in mind Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8. The
former says, "For athousandyears in thy sight are
butas yesterday when
it is past, and asa watch in the night." The latter says, "But,
beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord
asathousandyears, and athousandyearsas one
day."

Hosea
6:1-3 says, "Come,
and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath
smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 AFTER TWO DAYS (after
2000 years) will he revive us: in the third day (the third
millennium) he will raise us up (fulfilled May 14, 1948, when Israel became
a nation), and we shall live in his sight. Then (i.e., after
1948) shall we KNOW, if
we follow on to know THE LORD: HIS GOING FORTH is prepared as the morning;
and HE SHALL COME UNTO US AS THE RAIN, AS THE LATTER (malqosh, spring
rain) AND FORMER RAIN (yoreh, autumnal showers) UNTO THE
EARTH."

In Israel, the former rain comes on
Tishri 1. Jesus was born on Tishri 1 in 5 BC. The latter rain
comes on Nisan 1. I think the Second Advent will be on Nisan 1, 5776, April
9, 2016.

Like Jacob's ladder, where the top is Heaven and the bottom is
Earth, the Song of Solomon 2:10-17 gives us THE SECRET OF THE STAIRS.

It says, "My beloved (Jesus) spake, and said unto
me, RISE UP (i.e., at the first Rapture), my love (the Bride of Christ), my
fair one, and COME AWAY (halak, DEPART). 11 For, lo, the winter is past
(i.e., it is spring), the rain (i.e., of Nisan 1) is over and gone (so it is now Nisan 2); 12 The flowers
appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds (spring)is come, and the voice of the turtle (lit.,
turtledove) is heard in our land (they come in April); 13
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs (i.e., the spring harvest of
Olynthos figs is coming soon), and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell (i.e., the grapes
are blooming). ARISE, my love, my fair one, and COME AWAY (i.e., at the
First-Trump Rapture). 14 O my dove, that art in the
clefts of the rock (in Jesus, our rock), in THE SECRET places (leave out places, it isn't in the Hebrew) OF THE STAIRS, let me see thy
countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice,
and thy countenance is comely. 15 Take us the
foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes (it's spring). 16 My beloved
(Christ) is mine, and I (the Bride of
Christ) am his: he feedeth among the lilies
(verse 2 says, 'AS THE LILY among thorns, SO IS MY
LOVE among the daughters'). 17
Until the DAY BREAK, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou
like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains (plural) of Bether
(separation, i.e., there are two mountains that represent
two Raptures."

Therefore, it seems to me that we just might be caught up at
daybreak on April 6, 2011, the anniversary of the crucifixion on Thursday, April
6, 30 AD.

I think the Last-Trump Rapture will be on Tishri 1,
5776, Sept 14, 2015, just before the two asteroids of Rev. 5:8-11 impact
Earth, i.e., when the Wrath of God hits Earth.

> > The end date of
December 7, 2015 which is preceded by the most awful tribulation period of 75
days plus 1,260 days, called in the scriptures “the GREAT TRIBULATION”, a time
such as never has been before nor will ever be again.(There were 75 more days added by the
angel in Daniel 12).

Dan 12:11-13 says, "And
from the time that the daily
sacrifice shall be taken
away (Mid-Trib), and the abomination that maketh desolate (an idol) set up,
there shall
be a thousand two hundred and
ninety days (so that year is a leap year, and 5776 is a leap year). 12
Blessed is he that waiteth, and
cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days (these follow the
Second Advent). 13 But go thou thy way till the end
be: for thou
(Daniel) shalt rest, and stand in thy lot (inherited plot
of land) at the end of the days."

The Great Tribulation is
shortened, not made longer. The total days of the Tribulation are 2300. Dan
8:13,14 says, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the
host to be trodden under foot? 14 And he said unto me, Unto two
thousand and three hundred days (i.e., each made up of an evening and a
morning); then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."

Mt 24:22 says, "And except those days should be
shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but
for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."

I think the Second Advent will be Saturday, Nisan 1,
5776, April 9, 2016. Jesus said he was Lord of the Sabbath.

Because 5776 is a leap year with the 13th month, there
will be seven months between Tishri 1, 5776 (Day of God's Wrath) and Nisan
1, 5776, the first day of the Sacred, Regnal and Jubilee
years.

Eze 39:12,13 says, "And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them,
that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yea, all the people of the
land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the
day that I shall be glorified (he will come in glory at the Second Advent),
saith the Lord GOD."

> > The ark rested somewhere
in the mountain range known as Ararat (i.e. Armenia,
8:4)

They finally found the boards of the Ark on Mt.
Sulieman (the way they spell Solomon) in
Iran.

> > The second time in this world of modern
Israel, destruction will be by fire,
probably nuclear fire.God said it,
therefore it will be so.

It won't be nuclear fire. An asteroid as big as
a mountain will impact the Mediterranean Sea. Another, called a star, and
actually Satan's asteroid Wormwood, will obliterate Babylon on the
Euphrates River (Rev 8:8-11, Rev 18:21). The asteroid impacts cause the
worldwide earthquake (Eze 38:20) and
fire.

> > When Noah entered the ark, the solar year
was 360 days.

I think 360-day years, 30-day months, 12 months in a
year, are all estimated time. We still use those today when we need to give a
ballpark estimate. I figure using regular years and estimated years when
indicated.

When Noah could not see the Sun and Moon, he
estimated the time. Afterward, we are given exact
dates.

> > I wonder if leap year in 2012, which affects this may
be one reason that we won’t know the day or
hour

I think we can know the day, but not the hour. In Mt
24, the first time Jesus said we did not know the DAY or HOUR. The second time
he only said we wouldn't know the HOUR. In Mt. 24:35-44, Jesus said,
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that DAY AND HOUR
knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my
Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be
grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42
Watch therefore: for ye know not what HOUR your Lord doth come. 43
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the
thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house
to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an
HOUR as ye think not the Son of man cometh."

Therefore, Jesus must have
given us enough clues to enable us to figure the day, but not the hour. As in
the days of Noah are
important.

Gen 6:3 says, "And
the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also
is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred
and twenty years." That seems to imply 1897, when the first Zionist Congress
met. 1897 + 120 = 2017, as you have pointed
out.

There are 2 days on Earth at
the same time. There are many different time zones, so us not knowing the hour
makes sense. Maybe the Rapture will roll around the Earth with the
time zones.He could pull
us out at daybreak in one time zone after another.

Wikipedia
says, "There are currently 40 world time zones. There are 24 standard time zones
plus 16 areas of the world that use time zones divided into 15-30-45 minute
increments."

When figuring the last
year of the Tribulation, remember that Jesus will return on a Jubilee Year that
has to follow a Sabbatic Year. 5775 is Sabbatic, so 5776 seems like a good bet
for the Second Advent.

I figure the Jubilee Year
will run from Nisan 1, 5776 (Saturday, April 9, 2016) to Nisan 1,
5777.

1967 was when they grew leaves, Sinai, West
Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights, and took the Temple Mount in the
Six Day War. All point to 2017 as the outer limit.

I think the Day of God's
Wrath will be Tishri 1, 5776, Sept 14, 2015.

The Jubilee would be announced on Tishri
10, 5776, Sept 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement.

The Day of the Second Advent would be Nisan
1, 5776, the first day of the Sacred, Regnal and Jubilee years.

> > Noah and
his family ENTERED THE ARK 7 DAYS BEFORE THE 40 DAYS OF
RAIN

But when Noah was closed in the Ark
was Cheshvan 17. Gen 7:12,13
says, "And the rain was upon the earth forty
days and forty nights. 13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem,
and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of
his sons with them, into the ark".

As you know, the Gospel of Matthew was written to the
JEWS to present Jesus as KING OF THE JEWS.I keep everything in this gospel with Israel in
mind.It is in that gospel that
Jesus said in chapter 24. ”as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in
the days of coming of the Son of Man”.As far as I am concerned in my studies of prophecy when using Matthew, I
try to think in terms of Israel in the latter days, not so
much the Church.I realize that
there are multiple applications, however, in this case I think we need to
separate our thinking.

In seeking that which we are all watching for, I was
“given in my mind” the message of the 120 years that I have written to you
about.Your response is appreciated
and so, in answer to your own work identifying the 70th week of
Daniel’s prophecy including the “covenant with many” on October 29, 2008,I have been taken with your work.I, myself, have searched diligently
since I was saved in 1953, after which I have spent much time and energy in the
area of prophecy.I love it.It is my passion, if one can call it
that (my wife thinks so).I have
searched very earnestly since 1988, as I believed Edgar Whisenant was onto
something really big.I know that
he was used to give the world a wake up call.I had hoped then for the rapture.You can be sure that I have prayed about
your email asking the Lord if I could provide further insight and well, this is
what I am impressed to share with you.

It seems to me that if the “sign of Noah” for
Israel in these days would be the
same count of years, i. e. 120 that Noah experienced from God’s announcement to
him to build an ark to worldwide destruction, then 120 years could be the sign
for this generation also.In other
words, 120 years of 360 days each totals 43,200 days in both instances.In our day, there are exactly 43,200
days from the founding of the Jewish state by Theodor Herzel until the end of
the 1,335 days of Daniel’s prophecy.This seems to be the so-called “smoking gun” count that proves where we
are today.This means that the
Kingdom is near for THEM, NOT US.The end date of December 7, 2015 which is preceded by the most awful
tribulation period of 75 days plus 1,260 days, called in the scriptures “the
GREAT TRIBULATION”, a time such as never has been before nor will ever be
again.(There were 75 more days
added by the angel in Daniel 12).The first destruction of the world of Noah was by water in a great
flood.The second time in this
world of modern Israel, destruction will be by fire,
probably nuclear fire.God said it,
therefore it will be so.

But, there is possibly another sign given in Genesis, and
that is the time Noah spent in the ark.YHWH spent a goodly amount of scripture space to inform us of the time
Noah and his family was in the ark after He told them to enter it.From that time until his feet once again
touched terra firma was exactly 365 days, or one solar year.

The scripture is clear to divide that year into counts of
time from one event to another. When Noah entered the ark, the solar year was
360 days.The conditions on the
earth were much better than today with our violent weather and hot and cold days
and nights.Further, the orbit of
earth around the sun was circular, not elongated as it is now.This gave ideal weather throughout.But whatever happened to disturb the
planet also changed the orbit to create a 365.24219 solar year in the year that
the ark was afloat.The change did
not, however, affect the lunar cycle.It remained 29 ½ days, just as now.

In calculating the time that Noah and his family were in
the ark, the following footnote found in the Schofield Reference Bible and
confirmed in John Whitcomb’s book “The Genesis Flood” and Henry Morris’ book
“The Genesis Record” is reproduced below.It is found on page 13 in his Bible and, of course, in Genesis chapter
7.

“The flood began in the 600th year,
2nd month, 17th day of Noah’s life (7-11).It rained 40 days and nights
(7:12);

the waters continued to increase (7:18), reaching their
highest point on the 150th day (7:24), which figure includes the 40
days of 7:12.The ark rested
somewhere in the mountain range known as Ararat (i.e. Armenia, 8:4) on the
7th month, 17th day (i. e. 74 more days).There followed 40 days before Noah sent
out the raven (8:6-7), and three periods of 7 days related to the the three
releasings of the dove (8:8-12), compare v. 10 “yet other seven days”).Thus far there are 285 days.The period between the removal of the
covering of the ark (601st year, 1st month, 1st
day, v. 13) and the third sending forth of the dove is 29 days (deduced by
comparing 8:13 with the date of entering into the ark, 7:11).Finally, a comparison of 8:13 with vv.
14-16 indicates a further 57 days wait before Noah and his family went forth to
the dry earth, or 371 days in all, which figure agrees when 7:11 is deducted
from from 8:14….12 months of 30 days plus 11 days.(The Jews count both the beginning and
ending day of a sequence).But the
actual elapsed time was exactly a solar year.This is established by multiplying the
12 months of 7:11 and 8:14 by the 29 ½ days which comprise a lunar month.The total is 354 days.Add 11 days (17th to
27th of the second month, 7:11 and 8:14)….a total of 365 days, one
solar year.”

I believe that it is entirely reasonable to think that
YHWH meant for us to lay this 365 day count over the final year leading up to
the revealing of the man of sin, the abomination that makes desolate.There is good reason for this, I
believe.

As you know there are two Hebrew years.These are the civil year and the
sacred year.The first of
these occurs on the Jewish Feast of Rosh Hashana called New Year.The second occurs 14 days prior to the
Feast of Passover (Pesach) each and every year.The new year corresponding to 2011 in
the civil count for Jewry began last September, but the sacred new
year for 2011 has NOT YET BEGUN.It
actually starts April 5 at sundown this year.But, Noah and his family ENTERED THE
ARK 7 DAYS
BEFORE THE 40 DAYS OF RAIN, i. e. 7 days before the 365 days began.Therefore, including the first call into
the ark, the total count is extended to 372 days, and appears in the table
below:

Ron, I think that just as the 120 years works from
Theodor Herzel’s founding to Israel’s Kingdom, this 372 days count may work in
the year just before the man of sin arises as the abomination that makes
desolate.When applied, the
timeline divided according to scripture record looks like
this:

The year, 2012 is a leap year.This may throw the count off 1 day all
the way back to 2011 since only ¼ of a day is assigned to each of the 4 years
leading up the the leap day.This
is just a convenience of the calendar. The Jewish calendar gives April 18/19 as
the Feast of Passover (Pesach) this year.This means that Nisan 1, which is 14 days prior to Pesach, or April 5/6
this year.From this date to April
11/12, 2012 is, guess what?…372 days!

A perfect overlay of the timeframe of Noah’s year onto
2011-2012 yields a most interesting result.I don’t know what occurs or may occur on
the different dates based on the above time line, if anything.I this that this is probably a major
event schedule for Israel in 2011-12.But I do believe the rapture may well be
either April 5/6, or April 12/13, 2011. Also, I wonder if leap year in 2012,
which affects this may be one reason that we won’t know the day or hour, let
alone the 24 time zones and the 2 days on earth.

All glory to our GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, TO
GOD THE FATHER, AND TO THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO ENLIGHTENS OUR MINDS TO
UNDERSTAND.

**These are deduced figures as explained in Schofield’s
note.Alternately they could be 14
and 29 days signifying a slightly different event in each case.The total, however, is the same….1current solar year
count.
